Chapter 42: Someone cuts off

The reason why Heishui Pier is called Heishui Pier is because in winter, a light heat and dark brown impurities will appear on the lake.
But there is no such phenomenon in other places except Heishui Pier, so in winter, when people wash their clothes, they just need to walk a little farther and avoid it.
After all, those black impurities can't be washed off if they are stained on the clothes. Their poor families have such two clothes all year round, and they can't bear to get dirty.
While a group of women were doing laundry and the middle-aged Liman was fishing, a man stood on the Heishui Pier shouting!
"The rich young master is going to hire someone to do work! As long as you have the strength and the tools to do farm work, you can be hired regardless of men or women, and you can get hired quickly!"
His shouts echoed on the lake and spread far and wide. Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. Although they felt that the other party might be deceiving, after all, it's just a little work. Where is it worth half a penny? But there were still a lot of idle people rushing to join in the fun, and after a while, a large crowd of people gathered at the dock!
Xie Linlang was sitting on the black horse, when she had already taken off her cloak, revealing the moon-white robe inside.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, everyone was dressed thick and swollen, but she was the only one who seemed not afraid of cold at all, and was still wearing a gown.
The robe embroidered with brocade patterns blows with the wind, making her look more handsome and incomparable. She is holding a horse whip and pointing at the people.
"Everyone stand! Divide into three groups and listen to my arrangements!"
Her voice is not loud, but it can be heard clearly by everyone present. Everyone thought it was a lie, but seeing her so dazzling publicity, she instantly became convinced and bowed their heads to follow suit.
Seeing that the people gathered were very obedient, Xie Linlang nodded in satisfaction, then reined and walked to the first group.
"You guys get out of the queue! From where I stood to the dock, dig down in a row! As long as you work for one hour, there will be half a silver pattern!"
The group of people didn't know, so they held the tools and didn't move, but Xie Linlang had already walked to the next location and treated the second group humanely.
"You line up from here, and dig to the dock as well. The requirements are the same, and so is the bounty."
Immediately afterwards, she walked to the last place and said to the third group, "You dig this line, start right away, everyone, whoever digs out the black spring water first, I will reward a dozen gold! And you..."
She looked at the humane who helped her shout, "And you are responsible for supervising! Once the black spring water is dug out, you will immediately lead it into the river. If you can make the black spring all over the black water river, then everyone, I will Twelve taels of silver!"
After she finished speaking, she threw out a money bag and threw it into the man's hand.
The middle-aged man was frightened by Xie Linlang's words. After he received the money bag, he opened it tremblingly. For a while, the real money inside dazzled everyone's eyes!
Suddenly, all kinds of gasp sound frequently came out, Xie Linlang saw everyone staring at the purse in a daze, the whip in his hand was raised, and he hit the boulder on one side with a bang!
The boulder was torn apart! The sound of the explosion made everyone recover. After seeing the end of the boulder, the eyes of Xie Linlang instantly became horrified!
"Don't dig! My son keeps his promises! But if someone is dishonest, it's like this stone!"
Her voice made everyone jump! They quickly picked up the guy in their hands and started digging honestly.
The person holding the money bag over there felt that his feet were getting weaker, he walked to Xie Linlang's side tremblingly, and asked with a trembling voice.
"My lord, what if you can't dig out the black spring water..."
After hearing this, Xie Linlang said in a deep voice, looking at the Heishui Wharf that overflowed with black water every year.
"There will be, in the future, this place will surely become the treasure of our Xiangcheng!"
On the other side, Lian Ke's boat was almost at Chang'an Wharf. On the Wangjiang Tower next to Chang'an Wharf, the imperial commissioner was holding a tea cup, frowning and looking at the river outside the window, suddenly asked.
"Whose ship are those ships? Are there so many cargo ships in Xiangcheng?"
The magistrate Tao, who was carefully accompanying him, said quickly, "That's...that's the ship of the Zongjiang Commercial Bank. Their owner is the imperial merchant. This time they came to transport tin."
Xiangcheng had Xifang, and the imperial servant didn't care. After all, there were so many mines he had seen. Naturally, he didn't like the appearance of this surname Tao who used a Xifang as a cash cow.
He also didn't intend to intervene in this matter, anyway, it won't be long before Xie Linlang takes care of this Xiangcheng.
Thinking of him, he asked again, "Didn't you say that Xie Linlang and the others would arrive by water? Why are they still missing?"
County magistrate Tao touched his fat belly and thought, that the surnamed Xie might be dead, but he said with a smile on his face.
"He should be here soon? Soon..."
The cargo ship was walking very slowly. After Qin Jue broke the string suddenly, he stopped playing.
Lian Ke originally enjoyed listening, but the broken string is not a good sign. He frowned, stretched out his hand to call in his subordinates, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where are you going?"
The subordinate replied, "My lord, we are almost at the Chang'an Wharf, and one hour before Chang'an, you will reach the Red Sand Valley."
Lian Ke let out an "um", he knew very well that as long as he was in the water, even if there were chasing soldiers, he would not be able to help him, but why, was he a little uneasy?
correct! He knows where he is upset! They blatantly assassinated the imperial court commander and took another person. Even if Xie Linlang didn't see who he had taken, he shouldn't just let it go!
It's too quiet, and there is not a single chaser until now. What the is she doing?
Lian Ke thought about sitting up, but soon, he stared at Qin Jue and sneered.
"...It seems that Xie Linlang doesn't know you at all. You have been invited by me for so long. She hasn't noticed that the people around her are wrong. She hasn't seen her for so many years. Her acumen is far worse than before!"
Qin Jue didn't care at all, but after listening to the other party, he actually knew Xie Linlang before?
"Have you seen her before?"
Listening to Qin Jue's question, Lian Ke suddenly laughed!
"Yes, of course! She almost killed me back then! It's a pity... She didn't kill me back then. If I have a chance in the future, I must make her regret it!"
His words were full of murderous aura, making Qin Jue's eyes cold suddenly.
But soon he laughed, after the Red Sand Valley, this person would never have another chance.
Lian Ke didn't notice the look in Qin Jue's eyes. He seemed to be completely immersed in memories after drinking a lot of wine.
The scene of the corpse mountain and the sea of ​​blood made him terrified, but now, as long as he thinks about it, he will tremble and be excited!
I saw him staring at the ground, his pupils flickering, and he said frantically.
"Xie Linlang... Xie Linlang really looks better as long as possible... Did you know? My brother was attracted to her at the beginning, so he was cut to death and died... Haha, hahahaha! If I There is a chance, I must fulfill my brother's last wish! Xie Linlang! Her taste must be wonderful!"
Just hearing a "bang", Qin Jue got up suddenly, and the guqin in front of him was knocked over!
Lian Ke immediately looked at him with electric eyes, and before he could speak, there was an urgent voice from his subordinates.
"Report--! Your lord! Someone cuts on the lake!!"
